Definitions

  • the invention relates to a strut with a height-adjustable spring plate according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • an adjustable vibration damper same construction type is provided with elastic axial stops on the top and bottom of the threaded nut, which should cushion in the extreme positions of the threaded nut contact with adjacent components.
  • the axial stop on the upper side can come into contact with the underside of the cup-shaped rotor in the upper extreme position of the threaded nut.
  • the axial stop is compressed, so that the prestressing within the axial stop can cause jamming of the threaded nut on the threaded spindle.
  • the object of the present invention is to realize an end stop for the threaded nut, is remedied in the known from the prior art problem of jamming of the threaded nut.
  • the housing of the actuator has a baffle plate on which the axial stop can come to rest.
  • the great advantage of the invention is that no rotational relative movement takes place at the end stop, which can exert a clamping action on the threaded spindle. As a result, the end stop practically does not wear off.
  • the axial stop is based on the adjustable spring plate on its back. There is a comparatively large support diameter, which effectively prevents a slanted position of the spring plate.
  • the axial stop is carried out in the region of the winding diameter of the spring.
  • the axial stop is equipped with an elastomeric body to avoid impact noises.
  • the shock absorber is enveloped by an elastic protective bellows, which is attached to the assembly threaded nut spring plate end and forms a further stop in the compressed state.
  • the protective bellows is not compressed in its function as a stop on block length, acting as a further stop protective bellows is connected to the axial stop functionally parallel.
  • the spring plate on a sleeve-shaped portion on the one hand carries the axial stop and has an attachment point for the protective bellows at an axial distance.
  • the sleeve-shaped portion when the sleeve-shaped portion is inclined extends to the protective bellows and limited by the baffle plate an annular space, the compressed protective bellows can be permanently absorbed without damage.
  • Figure 1 shows an upper portion of a strut 1, which is arranged for example between an unillustrated vehicle axle and a vehicle body.
  • the first spring 9 is clamped between a first spring plate 13 and a second spring plate 15.
  • the second spring 11 is located on the underside of the second spring plate 15 and a third spring plate, not shown, which is optionally attached to the cylinder 7 or an axle of the vehicle axle.
  • the upper spring plate 13 is connected via a gimbal-mounted head bearing 17 with the vehicle body. At this head bearing also an actuator 19 is connected in the design of an electric motor.
  • the actuator comprises a housing 21 having a bottom 23, which has fastening means 25 to the head bearing, wherein the upper spring plate 13 with the bottom 23 is made in one piece. by virtue of the common connection of the bottom 23 and the piston rod 5 with the head bearing is the upper spring plate 13 fixed to the piston rod. 5
  • an annular stator 27 which drives a rotor 29 with a U-shaped cross-section.
  • a threaded spindle 31 On an axially extending leg 29a of the rotor 29, a threaded spindle 31 is attached, which has a movement thread 33 on its outer circumferential surface.
  • the movement thread 33 engages a threaded nut 35 which is connected via an intermediate sleeve 37 with the second spring plate 15 in operative connection.
  • the threaded nut performs a translational axial movement, which is carried out by the second spring plate 15 in synchronism, whereby the total capacity of the two springs 9; 11 can be set to z. B. to compensate for a rolling motion of the vehicle body.
  • a guide tube 39 which carries at its lower end a bell 41 in which a stop buffer 43 is clamped, which comes from a defined stroke position of the vibration damper 3 on an upper end face of the cylinder 7 for conditioning.
  • the guide tube is mounted in the axial direction and in the circumferential direction stationary to the piston rod, since a flange 45 is penetrated by the fastening means 25 to the housing of the electric motor and in a pot-shaped extension 47, the piston rod is fixed.
  • the threaded spindle 31 and the threaded nut are shrouded to the second spring plate 15 by an elastic protective bellows 49 which is fixed end to the assembly threaded nut spring plate.
  • the other end uses housing 21 of the electric motor.
  • Fig. 1 take the second spring plate 15 and thus also the threaded nut 35 a lower end position.
  • the threaded nut 35 with a first axial stop 51 which is preferably formed by an elastomeric body, on the top of the bell 41.
  • the threaded nut 35 performs only a translational movement, since the springs 9; 11 by their bias prevent co-rotation with the threaded spindle. Consequently, there is no circumferentially effective relative movement between the first axial stop 51 and the bell, which could cause a tension between the threaded nut and the threaded spindle.
  • Fig. 2 shows the same strut 1 in an operating condition in which the second spring plate 15 assumes an upper end position on the threaded spindle 31.
  • the second spring plate 15 comes with a second axial stop 53, which is based on the adjustable spring plate 15 on a back, on a baffle plate 55 as a stationary component of the housing 21 to the plant.
  • the second axial stop is designed in the region of the winding diameter of the second spring 11 and can optionally also be equipped with an elastomer body 57.
  • the protective bellows 49 which is shown to be almost stretched in FIG. 1, is almost or completely compressed in FIG. 2 and can serve as a stop in coordination with the spatial configuration of the second axial stop 53. Alternatively, you can Provide that the protective bellows 49 is not compressed to block length, in which case the bellows 49 is the second axial stop functionally connected in parallel.
  • the second spring plate 15 has a sleeve-shaped section 59, which on the one hand carries the second axial stop 53 and an attachment point 61 at an axial distance.
  • the axial length of the sleeve-shaped distance substantially determines the compressed length of the bellows 49.
  • the sleeve-shaped portion 61 extends obliquely to the bellows 49 and limited with the baffle 55, an annular space 63 which can accommodate the folds of the bellows 49 radially inward.
